The WAG era

No one can forget the era of the WAG.

It turned football pitches into fashion runways and there was one lady leading it - Victoria.

Her long, bouncy locks were essential to complete any outfit and many of them consisted of mixing uber-chic with casual pieces.

She was often found clutching a £40k Hermes Kelly while sporting teeny tiny denim shorts and the tightest fitting top she could lay her hands on.

Of course, we can't forget the infamous 'bug eye' sunglasses she wore everywhere to create a sense of mystery which soon became a staple in everybody's wardrobe.

Sophisticated Sport

No one can forget the shocking announcement David Beckham was moving to the States to play football for LA Galaxy.

But Victoria's outfit at the announcement quickly took the limelight.

Sporting a purple-structured dress and her huge sunglasses - Posh Spice matched the look with a punchy Hermes Kelly.

Ditching her signature micro shorts and tight-fitting vest, the fashion chameleon switched her relaxed look for something much more sophisticated.
